I Don't Want To Grow Up, Unless My Parents Pay For It

I had to go to santa monica today to buy a few new things for when I begin work on monday. I hate driving. I hate shopping in LA. Together, they create the most exhausting experience of a lifetime. And then afterwards, I went out to dinner with Gao. I'm so tired. I'm never going to drive again.

Except for when I go down to San Diego on Thursday for Comic-Con. Yes: I know I am a nerd. I can't wait to meet Captain Adama! Wow. I swear that I do have a life beyond Battlestar Galactica.

So this is the view from our balcony. It's was really nice a few nights ago when I took these. It's been getting cloudy though.





It's really nice on clear days because you can see the ocean... ever so slightly -- but it's there! It's sad to think that this may be the closest thing to an ocean view that I ever get.

I can't believe I'm starting work tomorrow. Ugh. I already don't want to do it. Haha. It's really only because of the commute. I have to walk to the bus station (15min) then take the bus to the trainstation (20 min) and then train to downtown (20 min) and then walk from union station to city hall (10 min). That's what? 1 hour 5 min. Well, it really wouldn't be much better than if I drove... I would never find parking downtown and parking would even up costing me a ton of money, for a spot 5 blocks away. I'd rather just listen to my iPod or read a book on the train. i have to be there at 10 am tomorrow... so I guess I'll leave here at 8:45 am... which means get up at 7:45 am... and Ihave to do laundry and make myself a lunch tonight! Ahh! I hate doing grown-up things! I want my mommy... she would make me a nice lunch and do my laundry for me.... :-(

I caved in and asked my parents for some money today. This first month of living here has set me up a little tight financially for this next month, since I hadn't worked for half of the month... and you know, getting all those basic things for the apartment and my life. Although, I will admit that I have been going out to eat way too often for my budget. Just this last week though! It just seems like all of my friends whom I haven't seen for a while want to meet up with me for food. Gah. Starting today, I'm not going out to eat for a week. Once a week seems ok, and just to spend less than $10 isn't so bad. Making my rent this hard is month.. haha.. a little bit of a mental syntax error there. Maybe I can get my parents to help me out with rent once I start summer school in August. I won't be able to work as much, so it would be nice.

Justin went mountainbiking today, so I suppose I should go and entertain myself with doing my laundry before he gets back. Plus, I'm so tired. I just want to get it over with.
